Month: July 2017

The first time we took Rylie to the lake, it was the end of April and even though it was warm, the lake was not. She was also only 5 months old and she was still using the baby bathtub. All that to say, looking back, Rylie wasn't ready. Now, Rylie sits up in the… Continue reading fistful of sand, Disney swim suit & wet feet

Like I shared in Rylie's 7 month update, she is VERY vocal about her desire to eat the food that is on our plate - especially at dinner. We had an idea one night and it has become a new favorite. CHEERIOS! It's become a big event! We get home, dish our own dinner, put… Continue reading rylie’s favorite snack

A couple weeks ago, I was digging through a box in attempts to organize it and get rid of things I didn't need to keep around.

The theme was "Wanna-Be-A-Leadera" so all the props were outdoor themed. Blurry, but we're a group of bears so I guess we scared off our picture-taker 😜… Continue reading summer blast 2017

On SUNDAY (7.9.17), Rylie and I went to our friend Everette's 1st birthday party. Many of our friends got to come as well so we had lots of playmates. It was "My Little Sunshine" themed and it was so precious! We love being apart of Everette's life, and we were so thankful to be invited… Continue reading everette’s 1st birthday party
